Thanks everyone for your feedback. I was thinking of trading my 2023 Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo with 15,000 km that I purchased last year for a 2025 BMW 6 speed manual. I figure it should be almost a straight swap for the 2 cars and depending on the options chosen on the M3 perhaps a few thousand extra dollars added in.

My Taycan is at the dealer right now for a few days having some recalls done on it. If I had my Taycan at home today I was thinking it would be a beautiful day today to take it out for a drive. The Taycan drives great and is extremely comfortable and fast and looks incredible but sometimes I feel I miss the sportiness, sound, and shifting gears in a car like the M3. Perhaps it is a situation where the memories and nostalgia of my 2016 M3 are better than the reality of owning the car today? I only drive about 6,000 km a year so it will not be an every day driver. I am not sure if I should just keep the Taycan which has been an amazing car and a car I always look forward to driving and if I will regret going to a 2025 M3 which has been around in this iteration for 5 years.
